Okay, we are live. Hi, this is William Ramsey. Welcome to William Ramsey Investigates on today's show. I have a very special guest. A returning guest, this will be our fourth show. His name is John Clycheck. It's K-L-Y-C-Z-E-K. And we did shows, actually, all the way back in 2022, we did one about his excellent book, title is School, World Order,

the Technocratic Globalization of Corporatized Education.

And then we also followed up to that with a discussion about Aldous Huxley's Brave New World,

still very relevant.

So you can check those out in my catalog.

And also, we talked this year about something that I think this article that we're talking about today plays up.

But it was about Trump Ed 2025, this whole Heritage Foundation Project 2025.

But that full title was school choice corporatization, social impact finance, and the dismantling of the

Department of Education.

Today we're going to talk.

If you're watching this on Rock Finn Rumble or X, you'll see the cover of his new article,

published in August.

And the full title of that is from, from Project 2025 to the PayPal presidency,

School Choice Fintech for a blockchain social credit economy.

There's a lot of kind of acronyms in this.

So I'll try to get that cleared out so people understand.

But there's a lot of really curious things happening in American education with this new administration.

And John can talk more about that.

So, John, welcome back to the show.

Hey, thanks for having me, William.

Yeah, and if at any point I need me to pause to, you know, break down jargon or clarify, you know, just feel fear to interrupt.

Yeah, it's just like maybe we could just get some of the stuff out that people don't know about.
